Do take note that this is an invited review - So, here are my usual disclaimers:1) I have not been paid to write this, but neither have I paid a cent for my meal,2) I will still be as objective as possible re. the food/ restaurant, and3) If I go back to the restaurant incognito and find that the food/service is horribly different from this experience, I will amend my ratings here...

A mother and son team, dishing up traditional Padang food? - how sweet... :)

Mother and son, Sambasri Harun and Irwan Arifin, posing with their signature dishes....

.... and they are serving up delicious traditional cuisine from their hometown, Pariaman in Padang, Indonesia - with a beautiful blend of fragrant spices accentuated by a mild, pleasing (chilli) heat on the tongue....

- The famous Fat Boy Bakes, with a big bone in hand:(Look at that gleeful smile!)

- It's the Concorde KL after all, so it's a nice setting in the main Melting Pot Cafe dining area:(Reservations are highly recommended, as it usually gets very packed)

Comfortable although crowded....

- There's also a live band around to entertain you as you dine:

Somehow they managed to make Bieber's Baby song sound interesting....

Price-wise, I think it's pretty reasonable, considering it's a very reputable hotel in the KL area:- RM 89++ per adult, - RM 44.50++ per child (4 to 12 years old).(There is also a 20% discount during the 1st and 4th week of Ramadhan!)

We were also told that they will be changing the menu everyday, to keep things exciting, so you can just keep going back again and again, if you want to. :)

PS/ Thanks (and *HUGS*) to the witty Fat Boy Bakes for extending the invite and of course, to the sweet Julini of Concorde for being such a good hostess.

We used to get kicked out of their high-teas when we frequented them way back when. A whole bunch of voracious teens having a stare down with the uncle manning the hainanese chicken station. He refused to serve us, because he said we came back too fast! ROFL! We kicked up such a fuss that he had to relent. Hehehe...wonder if he's still manning any of the food stations?

OMG I won a TOKL award! Thanks y'all! :)

I'm finally on Twitter - Here're my last 5 Tweets :)

I can't believe I've managed to keep this up since 2005. Hope you've enjoyed the ride as much as I have. :)
